Mookie Betts has inflammation, but no structural damage, in his left wrist/hand, a CT scan confirmed Tuesday. While the news certainly could be worse for Betts and the Red Sox, wrist issues are always red flags for hitters. Betts' availability will be day-to-day. With only six games left in the regular season, Red Sox will have to balance rest for Betts and making sure his timing is right at the plate.

Entering his start tonight, Chris Sale needs 13 strikeouts to tie Pedro Martinez's single-season Red Sox record. It's unclear whether Sale will make another start before the playoffs. He's lined up to start the regular-season finale Sunday against the Houston Astros. By then, though, the Red Sox likely will have clinched the AL East title. Their magic number is 3, with six games remaining.

LaAdrian Waddle and Elandon Roberts don't get much attention, but their contributions shouldn't go unnoticed.
